This is a low-confidence read due to thin data. The Toyota Celica market shows high overvaluation at 86.97, alongside appreciation momentum at 76.29. The outlook for 6, 12, and 24 months indicates a potential downward direction with probabilities between 0.47 and 0.49 in a volatile regime, with High-Yield Bond Spread being a leading indicator correlated at 0.69 over 17 months.

What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 35 yr, 65k mi example, ~$8.8K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.

Lead Indicator Forecast

Some indicators move before this market does. M2 Money Supply has historically led it by about 8 months — so its recent move implies where prices head next (dashed). The solid green line is actual value through today; the shaded path is what the lead implies.

$8.8K now +8mo 2016-06 $16.7K $4.0K
BECAUSE M2 Money Supply rose 4%. THEREFORE, given its usual 8-month head start, we expect little change — about −0% (≈ −$28) over the next 8 months. Confidence: Moderate (correlation +0.54, 71 months overlap).

Crystal Ball — What Leading Indicators Signal

Distinct from the trend forecast above: this blends all 8 leading indicators (each at its own lead time, de-duplicated so correlated ones don't double-count) into one signal. Leading indicators are collectively signaling higher over the next ~12 months (high conviction — 100% of weighted drivers agree), driven mainly by M2 Money Supply and 2-Year Treasury Yield.

⚠ The price trend and leading indicators disagree — momentum may be running ahead of the fundamentals.

If You’d Bought in 2016

$100K invested 2016-06 → today (10.2 yrs), this car vs where else you could've put the money. Rebased to 100 at the start; the dashed line is inflation (break-even).

Lost ground to inflation. The Toyota Celica roughly 0.7×'d your money (a real 50% LOSS to inflation). It LAGGED the stock market by about 84% — the same money in the S&P 500 would be larger. It trailed housing (-63%). (Price only — a real round-trip also loses ~10–20% to buy/sell fees and carrying costs.)
